Remington will offer the R-15 VTR starting in 2009 in a new option: with a thumbhole stock. It seems like a pretty smart business move from Remington, as with the possibility of an unfavorable election, they can take an already “un scary” AR and make it even more friendly. It already has an unthreaded barrel, made up in “hunter” camoflauge, and with the addition of a thumbhole stock it effectively makes this weapon compliant with the old Clinton AWB.
Smart business move on Remington’s part.
But the revised/proposed AWB includes thumbhole stocks…
